Labrinth: Simon Cowell might be my boss but his show The X Factor is s***

Labrinth has risked the wrath of his boss Simon Cowell by branding The X Factor ‘absolute s***’.

Labrinth has made it clear he isn’t a fan of The X Factor

The singer – Cowell’s first signing not from a reality show – also mocked the music mogul for bragging about bedding Dannii Minogue.

Squirming at the thought of joining Cowell on his flagship show, the 23-year-old told me: ‘What do you think I should do? For me, I think it’s absolute s***.’

The Earthquake singer said the reality show was nothing more than a way ‘to get a couple more Twitter fans’ and insisted he would be an ‘idiot’ to sign up.

As for Cowell’s love life, Labrinth said the randy 52-year-old should have to answer to the toughest women in Britain.

‘He’s gonna be on Loose Women next week or something like that,’ said Labrinth. ‘Sounds like he’s been a naughty boy, he’s been getting in there.’

But he admitted it takes a bad boy to know one – as he’s done his own fair share of bed-hoping. ‘Before I was a naughty boy but I know how to behave myself ’cos it’s necessary,’ said the Londoner. ‘I have a lovely missus that I might end up marrying sometime soon.’

For now, he is chuffed to be one of the very first people to get his hands on Spotify for iPad – Spotify’s long awaited ‘native’ iPad app. ‘My iPad’s always with me,’ he said.
